Is your Cell Phone Killing You?

More than 80 million Americans are using cell phones, yet there is mounting evidence that mobile phones may have terrible consequences for your health, and not just from auto accidents caused by distraction! Studies have shown that there is definite damage to blood and a higher incidence of neuroepithelial tumors. There is now more data to support this than there was to ban silicone breast implants! So why isn't the public warned? The cell phone industry is huge and the data is often manipulated by the companies sponsoring the research. They stand to loose big bucks if consumers realized the danger involved. Many researchers are now comparing cell phone research with the tobacco industry scandals, citing the similarities. But there are ways to reduce the risk. This article describes one such way. Still, we must remember that there is a price to pay for each new convenience.
